Report - Hebble brook & pipemare, Halifax, May 2019

[stranton]

Visited here on 2 occasions once solo & with ACID- REFLUX ,
thankyou for accompanying me on the latter.

The Hebble brook rises at Ogdon reservoir,
merges with the Ovenden brook beneath Lee bridge & empties in the Calder at Salterhebble.
There's 6 culverts along the route consisting of both concrete & stone or brick,
with a mix of stone & brick floors or ankle breaking debris.

Dean Clough culvert (Pipemare)
there's tons of redundant drainage, steam, water & fuel pipes in here from the once thriving Dean Clough mills

Brilliant pics, what purpose does the solar panel serve in the 1st pic to the left of the debris screen? Power for a flow gauging/monitoring device maybe :

it's powering the sensor & cctv, which monitors the flow & amount of debris on the grill.

Nice one!
Looks like you had lovely weather for this explore.
I wouldn't mind a trip down this one sometime. It's one of those ones I've thought about but never got round to checking out.

Lovely stuff. Got further than we did when we went to pipemare as it smelt of death at the time!

Fantastic pictures my friend simply awesome. As I'm doing my project I am aware of these locations and tunnels and never tire of looking at new pics. Again they are simply STUNNING. Very Well done, beautiful. I know I'm a bit OOT but that's just me.
Thanks for doing this and many many thanks for putting them on this fantastic site.
